Fashion And Common Sense In Boots

Ankle boots are that rare oddity of being an item of fashion as well as being practical but do not pass that piece of information down to your teenage daughter as this will give her the same queasy feeling as discovering that your musical tastes coincide.

This type of shoe not only looks good but the ankle one of the most vulnerable parts of human physiology. Above the delicate ankle and foot is a six foot frame weighing anything up to forty kilos or more and even the clinically obese can stand on their arrangement of over two hundred fine bones and sinew.

In rugby one of the finest tackles is known as the ankle tap wherein a last ditch flip of the foot will send the charging giant forward flat on his face hopefully just inches from the try line.

The Ancient Greeks had an expression to describe a weakness that we still use today. Everyone, they expounded, has an Achilles heel. This is a weak spot and there is no weaker joint in the body apart perhaps from the wrist than the ankle.

Down the leg and along the arm nerve cells send information to pick up a pen or drive a car, to kick a football or just stand upright.

How many objects can you think of as heavy as a fully grown human with a footplate of just a few square inches that can balance upright without falling over?

The equation gets a little muddled when copious amounts of wine are involved but even then it takes a shed load to result in a fall.

Any A & E Doctor will tell you that one of the saddest sights on a Saturday night in any City in the UK is the arrival of pissed up young girls with broken ankles. Wearing high heels and disco dancing is a recipe for a dreadful disaster.

Young girls with broken ankles think of it as a battle scar and try to laugh it off. What the experienced doctor knows is that by the time that girl is a woman in her forties the chances are that arthritic problems will have set in.

Even in times of war the Germans and the Russians wore boots and consequently suffered far fewer ankle injuries than the Commonwealth forces in their shoes cum boots.

The Ancient Greeks knew that a successful army was a well-trained and well equipped army. Napoleon added that an army needs food in its stomach. It is a fact that what you wear gives confidence and not for nothing do some high powered executives wear the very best of everything even if nobody else sees it.

One blue chip company Chairman admits to wearing brand new silk shirts, cotton socks and underwear every single day. He throws them in the rubbish bin at the end of the day but wearing new gives great confidence to face the management.

How The Sa 8000 And Other Standards Are Shaking Up The Fashion Industry

Environmental, social and ethical pressures on the global textiles and fashion sector emerged in Europe in the early 1980s. The main driver was consumer concern over the safety of the materials. However, in parallel with this trend, a minority group of ethical consumers demanded chemical-free and low environmental impact clothing and fashion goods. This resulted in the European and later the U.S. organic labeling system being extended to include criteria for clothing and textiles, such as organic cotton. As of 2007, the sector was the fastest growing part of the global cotton industry with growth of more than 50% a year. Regarding safety standards, the Oeko-Tex standard has become highly popular in the industry. Although unknown to consumers, it tests for chemicals such as flame retardants in clothes and categorizes goods according to their likely exposure to humans (e.g. baby clothes must adhere to the strictest standards for chemicals). Thus the issue of chemicals in clothing has bec...
